GitHub - webtorrent/webtorrent: ⚡️ Streaming torrent client for the web

⚡️ Streaming torrent client for the web. Contribute to webtorrent/webtorrent development by creating an account on GitHub.

I only have limited experience with web development, but this tech seems super useful for hosting on any decentralized platform. Could this be used in place of a CDN? Would love to hear what you guys would use something like this for.

EDIT: I missed the faq with a list of projects that use it. That list has some really cool, useful services i might start using!

    It is used for PeerTube, it seems from quick web research.

    Sounds a bit like zeronet that I think is dead now, but was pretty cool when I tried it.

    The idea has been raised a few times that this could be a way to get longer videos on the Fediverse

    Cinetimes uses it to stream what it claims are public domain films but, looking over the offerings they may be playing a bit fast and loose with that definition.

    So there is a Hubzilla plugin. I don’t know what I’d do with it but it is interesting to see.

    PeerWeb sounds intriguing. You could have truly decentralised web sites.
